Figure 1. Current status of ocean temperatures. The current status can be seen as a) the current observed sea-surface temperature (SST) anomaly (i.e. observed minus the long-term mean on a given day) and b) associated heatwave severity based on the Hobday marine heatwave scale (Hobday et al 2018).
Figure 2. Proportion of study area impacted by MHWs. The proportion of the study area in Figure 1 in a given Marine Heatwave category is plotted over the last 12 months. Categories are stacked on top of each other, so that the upper edge of a category corresponds to the proportion that is in that category or higher. Heatwave severity is classified following the Hobday marine heatwave scale (Hobday et al 2018).
